I'll go first
Why is it that I have a gun and my enemy has a stick,brass knuck,hammer or a sword and I have to run for my life?

The answer is game balance. Check the link in my sig for laughs about this topic.
It is kinda funny how dominating melee professions are though... I can live with melee professions being balanced with me, but stronger... wth?

Because, according to the description in-game, stopping shot has the name "because it has a tendency to stop enemies in their tracks by killing or incapacitating them in one hit". I suppose this can be true for low level mobs...But what I would like to see is a posture down attack, not only because it's called stopping shot, but also because there are other moves (not in pistoleer), that do more damage than stopping shot, yet are never said to have a tendency to kill or incap the target in one hit. Why should a less powerful move bear this name?

Because you can. Because he doesn't want to.
And not everything in this game has to make sense...Why is it that people can prance around stormies with a huge T-21 in their arms? Do those stormtroopers think it's a supersoaker or something? One that just happens to blast people's heads off?

OH OH OH! I have a why question!
Why does the description of a Laser Carbine say that it's more powerful than a Laser Pistol, yet there is no laser pistol? I want to see a laser pistol! Preferably medium AP, with a low minimum and high maximum damage (like the laser carbine and rifle)

why is the dx2 acid damage when it's a disruptor pistol?
and why is the fwg5 heat when it's a flechette/smart missle launcher (ya know, like the launcher pistol)
i also wish they got the art correct for them too /sigh
the dx2 was so much cooler when it was brown and didn't look like a hair dryer

I know that this is suppose to be fun
Why doesn't the scatter pistol scatter?
and if it is a sactter pistol does that mean that it is really a sawed -off shot gun?

It does fire multiple blaster bolts in a single shot, but they just don't spread. I'm not sure that the weapon's description even suggests that there is any spread anyway; I'm pretty sure it just says that it fires multiple bolts in a single shot. If this is true, then the name "Scatter Pistol" would most likely refer to the separating (or scattering) of energy inside the weapon before it actually fires.

8/12/04 Dev Chat at Stratics:
Brekkee - *LeM* First question \o/ : As we are supposed to play on a Star Wars background, land of the blaster and energy-weapones, is there any plan to make ranged professions get the upperhand on melee professions ? Like, in the "combat revamp" or anything ?
justG - You are absolutely right... SW is ALL about ranged combat. We have not truly fulfilled that, and it is another of our basic design tenants moving forward.
Here's hoping they follow through with that!

Why do we have to spent millions to be competitive?
Unfortunately, like just about everyone of us, I know the answer which Ternque01 mentioned, game balance.

Why is the guy with the big honkin' rifle able to fire faster than us?
Why do we have all of these defences if non of them actually work?
and most importantly -
Why are our two most important and powerful weapons - the Geo Pistol and the DE-10 rare drops in dungeons wiht mobs highly resistant to our low AP weapons?

Actually, the scatter pistol is what really looks like a hair dryer......I think the DX2 looks more like a toy squirt gun
